    Was wondering what was the fps when running crysis on the 1730 with the SLI 8800 gtx cards. Im interested on the fps in high settings and very high settings on different resolutions. Please post results here or if u can give me a link if theres been post on this already. I searched and there was a lot of different threads, if you know a awesome thread about this please post, thanks

    I can play Crysis (although its just the demo) on all high settings perfectly fine. Im using Dell Performance Driver 174.31, and get FPS of between 35-40FPS.

    A massive difference!
    I noticed a GREAT difference when playing basic games between the 2 cards.
    With the SLI 8700mGT I could play UT3 at max spec though, so its not a bad card really - but a single 8800mGTX is as powerful as both of the 8700mGT's together.

    have a look at the Anandtech XPS 1730 review I have checked their benchmarks and they are correct.

    I have Crysis and Crysis WH do yourself a favor and don't buy them get Far Cry 2 instead
